Purple for Lupus

So this if my first group link up with the wonderful Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida, and I’m very proud to be a part of it! Not only does this group have some amazing ladies with fabulous blogs, but they also do incredible link ups and themed posts to raise awareness for important causes. This month we’re trying to bring some awareness to the very sad and chronic, autoimmune disease called Lupus, which can damage any part of your body when something goes wrong with your immune system. Lupus is not contagious and not like cancer, but it can range from mild to life threatening. If you’d like to read more about Lupus please check out the link here.

This is my purple flower nail look for Lupus, that began with inspiration from these flowers – although they don’t look purple I promise they are! I simply can’t figure out the settings on my camera!

I started with two coats of this lovely purple nail polish in the shade Delirium by the brand Ruffian. I wanted to create flowers, and although I was rather ambitious ( with the hopes of copying above – lol!) I think it’s not too bad for a nail art newbie.

I then poured out a pink, green and white colour and whipped out my dotting tool to create some petals…

I then dotted other colours and attempted to blend them slightly with a tooth pick, and finally dotted on some small gems.. and voila! My purple for Lupus link -up..nail look!

Please check out everyone’s looks that they created – they are amazing and far more pro than I…
